INTRALASE Lasik: "Lasik without blades"
The Lasik method has now been revolutionized with a brand new technology: this technique is called Intralase, or bladeless Lasik. It is a technique that uses the advantages of the Lasik technique and creates a safer flap with a laser instead of creating a flap with a blade in Lasik. Thus, while Lasik was already a safe technique, it has become safer with Intralase.
INTRALASE is the removal of the flap with Femtosecond laser under computer control. During corneal flap formation with Intralase, it has high sensitivity and the ability to always reach the planned and to create a personalized flap. Thus, Intralase has added a pleasant security to the Lasik operation, which is performed to remove glasses for arbitrary purposes.
